LAST SPACE SHUTTLE, ATLANTIS, TOUCHES DOWN SAFELY IN FLORIDA

The Atlantis has touched down successfully at runway 15 at Kennedy Space Center bringing and end to an era in space flight. Crewmembers Chris Ferguson, Doug Hurley, Sandy Magnus, and Rex Walheim are back on our planet and, traveling at speeds decidedly slower than escape velocity, can officially put a cap onto this historic series of space missions that we, at least, will never forget. In the words of NASA: "Job well done, America."
